Re: [O] Sending and archiving emails with capture...
Awesome. How do you get it to ignore the org star header (** Email) on the first line? I'd like to be able to open existing org subtrees in an indirect buffer—ideally in mail-mode—and then mail-send the contents of the buffer. When I try this at home, I get Invalid header line.

[O] Sending and archiving emails with capture...
Hi!
Assuming I've got everything set up correctly and this email makes it
to the list, this is in response to Alan E. Davis' question about
sending an email from Emacs and saving a copy in org-mode.
I make the assumption here that your Emacs is set up to properly send
emails using the ~mail~ command. Also note that my
~org-capture-templates~ setup has more than just an email template.
Install the lines below just after your org-mode install.
To use:
- Invoke org-capture from any buffer with C-cc.
- Choose the Mail template ([m] key).
- Enter the recipient's address, then [enter].
- Enter the mail subject, then [enter].
- Your cursor is positioned at the start of the email.
- Write your email.
- C-c C-c sends it on its way!
This is very crude and could certainly be improved. However, perhaps
it's a reasonable starting point!

This is run from the org-capture-before-finalize hook just
before the indirect buffer is closed.
If the current local capture is a 'Mail' message, I extract it
and send it on it's way. Because I am cautious, I extract the
text from the org buffer and put it into a private temporary
buffer before sending it as an email.
This may not be the best way to do this...
